It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

I can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.

I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game.

That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.

The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!

I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, "Geez, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool."

You miss every shot you don't take.
